Tourist traffic threat to village tranquillity

RESIDENTS in one of the region's most sought-after villages say its charms are being ruined by traffic.

Worsley is known for its beautiful scenery and landmarks, and the affluent and picturesque village can be found along the Bridgewater Canal. With mock-Tudor houses, it really is a slice of rural life in urban Salford.

Steeped in history, the village is home to 48 listed buildings, including early medieval manor house Wardley Hall, the courthouse, the fountain, and a telephone kiosk. Worsley Delph, a former coal mine, is a scheduled monument.

Significant parts of the village are now designated conservation areas, including Worsley Old Hall and the former Worsley Old Hall farm.

Despite its stunning surroundings some residents living on Worsley Green say there's one thing "spoiling" life in the village - the traffic.

Steve Birch has lived in Worsley his entire life. The 63-year-old was just a child and lived in Worsley Woods when the M60 was built.

“It's changed dramatically over the years,” he told the Manchester Evening News. “You can't move without sitting in traffic. But it's got good places, nice walks, nice people and a lot of history and nice properties.
